With so many reports from different sources, we still don’t know the exact names of the upcoming Apple smartphones. Some say they will be called iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, while latest reports reveal the “SE” naming. The same goes with launch dates.
Multiple sources have said the phones will be unveiled on September 7 with pre-orders starting two days later, and now Evan Blass, the person behind @evleaks, revealed that the smartphones will launch on September 16. The devices will start shipping on that date and be available in Apple stores.
Just to clarify, this refers to the retail release, not the launch event. To be even more specific, it should happen on Friday, Sept. 16th.
